Spread your wings
for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird
fly away
And take a
message to Michael
message to Michael
He sings each night
in some cafe
In his search to find
wealth and fame
I hear Michael has
gone and changed
his name
It's a year since
he was here
Kentucky bluebird
fly away
And take a
message to Michael
message to Michael
Tell him I miss him
more each day
As his train pulled
out down the track
Michael promised
he'd soon be
coming back
Oh tell him how
my heart just
breaks in two
Since he
journeyed far
And even though
his dreams of
fame fell through
To me he will
always be a star
Spread your wings
for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird
fly away
And take a
message to Michael
message to Michael
Ask him to start
for home today
When you find him
please let him know
Rich or poor I will
always love him so
Fly away
Kentucky bluebird
Fly away
Kentucky bluebird
